Black Ice GTX 560 or MO-RA3 4x180 LT

[DEADLY9996]

Ok been looking around for a few hours and i aint found anything to really compare with, maybe i'm just tired.

But what would be the performance difference really be?

Is the MO-RA that good? or just cheaper alternative with lots of rad space?

Cheers

What fans would you be using?

Gentle Typhoons AP-15

You know you are comparing a radiator with 9x120mm fans with another rad with only 4x140mm fans right? And that the surface area of the Mo-ra3 is 65.3% larger than the GTX 560? Well anyway, simply put, the Mo-ra3 will blow the GTX 560 away in terms of performance, but also in terms of noise. Do you need the Mo-ra3? Probably not, unless you are running 4x Titan gpu's in SLI OC'd. If you can handle the noise of 9 x AP-15's, and you have the space for the Mo-ra3, then it will always be better in terms of cooling. But it may be overkill, depending on what you are trying to cool.

Yeah i was thinking to myself a better comparison would be 2 X Black Ice GTX 480 vs The Mo-Ra3


I was a bit tired when i posted that

Yeah the BI GTX560 really needs high speed fans to do well while the mora really favors lower speed fans. I think bundy tested both in separate roundups, and the 560 does beat the mora at some point despite the huge size advantage of the mora.

I would suggest for AP15s that 2 UT60 480s would be better based on Martin's testing of them vs my memory of the mora results. Having said that the mora most likely still has a cost and surface area advantage:



Sadly I have both a BI gtx560 and a mora 140x9, but no time for testing them right now!

Thanks for the reply, you've got me thinking

I'll check back later

Mcr320 = STILL the best buy.

[DEADLY9996]

I was thinking that But all those kinda rads seem to be sold out here in the UK, shame they are great value to..

So i'm still thinking on it

Hmm was gonna get a Swiftech MCR420? quad 120mm, but cant find any available over here, and there sold out on the swiftech website.

They discontinued?
